In Search of the Mothman
Join an all star cast of presenters to celebrate and explore Mothman! Visit the TNT area, where Mothman was first seen. Hear incredible stories about the mysterious Men in Black, the collapse of the Silver Bridge, the curse of Chief Cornstalk and much more. Tour the Mothman Museum and take photos by the iconic Mothman statue.
This event will be the first time that Richard Hatem, screenwriter for 2002 feature film, The Mothman Prophecies, will visit the Point Pleasant, WV area.
Joining in the search will be Amy Bruni, Chip Coffey, John Frick, Sheena Metal, Greg Newkirk & Dana Matthews, and John Tenney. Each presenter brings a unique perspective to the event, from insights into the riveting Mothman stories to paranormal investigation techniques.
The weekend will begin on Friday, July 17th with a Meet & Greet, featuring all of the presenters, in the host hotel's conference room. After a dinner break, Mr. Hatem will discuss his experiences with the making of the movie. A Q&A session, moderated by Sheena Metal, will follow his presentation.
Saturday, we will have a number of presentations by experts on Mothman, Cryptozoology, and Ultra-terrestrials, ending with a visit to downtown Point Pleasant, where we will hold informal investigations, led by the presenters, at the site of the Silver Bridge collapse!

In 1992 he first learned of the Mothman when he read John Keel's book, and in 2002 he and his brother went to Point Pleasant for the first time, and the paranormal strangeness started almost immediately.
